A Mercedes was stolen from a private driveway outside a residential property in West Lothian.
Police have launched a probe after the white Mercedes GLC 250D 4Matic SE AUT with VRM MK16 UAV was taken from the property on Baird Road in Armadale. It’s understood the theft took place at around 6pm on Wednesday, January 8.
Officers believe the vehicle was stolen via keyless theft before it was driven onto a white Ford flatbed truck with two black stripes on the bonnet. The flatbed, which had no front VRM, was seen in the area shortly after 5pm on Wednesday.
Two men wearing hi-viz were also seen in the area around the time of the robbery. The flatbed was then driven along Bridgecastle Road and towards Armadale Cross.
